Rob Liefeld Has Written A Movie About Rob Liefeld And His Friends. It’s Called ‘Icons’ (Of Course)

Rob Liefeld keeps threatening to bring his misbegotten, footless creations to movie screens (both Bloodstrike and Godyssey have been optioned) but now he’s taken it a step further — Rob Liefeld’s gone and written a movie script about Rob Liefeld. Er, and the other founders of Image Comics I guess, but mostly it’s about Rob Liefeld.

This Liefeld/Image founders biopic is called ‘Icons’, because come on, what else would it be called? Hit the jump for an excerpt…

Here’s the dramatic centerpiece of the picture — the time Rob Liefeld met Eazy-E.

“I’m lovin’ me some Youngblood bro.”

Oh Eazy, you made some poor life decisions, didn’t you? Hit the second page for the continuation of this fantastic scene…

I’m sorry but this is FANTASTIC! I will watch the shit out of this if it ever makes it to the big screen. One question though, isn’t Icon an imprint of Marvel? I know he’s not meaning to reference them and just blowing smoke up his own ass but why the hell wouldn’t this just be called “Image”?

I never read much Cable growing up (was more of a Batman/Spider-Man dude), but I LOVED Cable & Deadpool. Liefeld made it tougher than necessary to go back and enjoy earlier Cable stuff when I got around to doing it.
